Very scary...I would pop if I ate 4500 calories in one day. I think the most I ever ate was about 3700. Thanks for posting!

Honestly. It's one day, I'm not worried about it.

Nah you wouldn't pop! Everything is so calorie dense in those meals!

It's like our 24 hour Operational ration packs are about 4000kCal each and well, they come in a tiny box!

Hey thanx for posting, the pumpkin pie idea sounds awesome but I think I will cut the crust out all together and make it parfait style in wine glasses. Kids and adults alike will be happy!!!!

Same here. Since I'm the chef I try to keep things healthy, but I'm not afraid of indulging in yummy stuffing, mashed potatoes and some cheesecake!
